24th of July

The 24th of July is always busy and fun for my family. We enjoy getting together with my Family and catching up with all the Hafen family news. Unfortunately, I only got a couple of pictures but I especially like this one of Emilia and Jakelle





Thanks to Jon and Jenica for sharing the cabin. It was nice and peaceful, even with all those kids! Thanks also to Jay and Amy. The kids loved riding on the 4 wheelers. (OK, it wasn't Emilia's favorite but then again she is my daughter and fear rules her life.)



After spending a great day with the Hafen's, we spent some time with the Roberts at Bear Lake. This means lots of time on the boat and this year plenty of time with the newest Roberts, Isabella. I have to admit, I enjoyed my time with the baby more than my time on the boat. But, it was fun to see all three kids water ski. Elliot was having some fun trying his hand at crossing the wake, Emilia thought it would be fun to try the splits while skiing (it doesn't work so well) and Katherine is close to being able to slalom. I have pictures of Elliot and Katherine, but Emilia's splits didn't give me enough time to snap a good picture.

I love to see how confident Elliot seemed to be up on the skis.

Too bad I didn't zoom in more for this picture, the look on Katherine's face while crossing the wake is pretty priceless.

I look forward to the end of July every year. Thanks to Mom and Dad Robert's for the many years at Bear Lake, and to Mom and Dad Hafen for countless summers of fun.

Now it is time to focus on school and the fall. I can't wait to begin fall clean-up in the yard. This time of year brings the weeds into my lawn. Fall means cooler temps, and hopefully snow isn't too far behind and snow means the lawn is covered and nobody needs to know about the weeds below. ( Don't hate me for loving the snow)
